A 400 HP (300 kW), 3-phase 2400 V, 50 Hz star connected motor works at a lagging power factor of 0.7 and draws a current of 120.65 A. A bank of mesh connected condensers is used to raise power factor to 0.93 lagging. The efficiency of the motor is 85 %. The condensers available are of 600 V, 50 Hz rating. They are to be connected in delta to meet the requirement of power factor improvement. The capacitance of each capacitor is |
A. | 54 μF |
B. | 108 μF |
C. | 162 μF |
D. | 216 μF |
Answer» B. 108 μF | |
